Guidance for agencies on voluntary data breach reporting to the Privacy Commissioner

Guidance for agencies on voluntary data breach reporting to the Privacy Commissioner

29 January 2019

To assist NSW public sector agencies, we launched a web resource in August 2018 to support NSW’s Voluntary Data Breach Reporting scheme. This follows the Commonwealth Notifiable Data Breaches (NDB) scheme introduced under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Privacy Act) on 22 February 2018.

It also includes our Quarterly data breach statistics, notified to the Privacy Commissioner for the FY2018/19 Q2 and past statistics on Quarters 3 and 4 of 2017/18. Future quarterly statistics will be updated to the page.
